Incident outside parliament in london - developing now

What really bothers me, is how some cretin of a man [for whatever reason] drives a car into a bollard outside parliament, causes no loss of life - yet the media is having an absolute multiple-orgasm, we've got the Sky copter out, with it's camera focused on a knackered ford fiesta, all the "experts" being wheeled out for their "expert analysis" no doubt some Ross Kemp lookalike will be on later - all of this will be for 48-72 hours solid, no letup. Endless blanket coverage, almost force-fed into every device, through every orifice.

It bothers me, because there'll be people out there who are close to the edge - who will be noticing the amount of attention and coverage this clown is getting, and it'll be making them think "**** it, do it live" or something to that effect, I think it's very bad the way it's covered and reported, we're almost asking for another one.

Faux outrage while they are creaming themselves with joy that they have a big story. But then we cannot have a situation in which media does not report the news through fear of more crimes being committed, 24/7 rolling coverage and regurgitating the same story is just how the media is.

Too soft on what? A man not known to security services or police? So we should do what exactly?

Yeah I understand that's the way it is, but that doesn't make it useful or desirable, essentially - they only do it because they make a ton of money out of it, I imagine they make more money from a terror attack than they from a big sports event, maybe even from PPV - due to the sheer numbers who tune in.

I also agree, we don't want a situation where things are never reported - but it's just gotten out of control in my eyes, and there's a failure to realise - that this method of reporting is almost certainly a catalyst to more attacks occurring.
 
"The vehicle police say he 'deliberately' used as a weapon was written off by insurers in the Autumn of last year but put back on the road and sold again eight weeks ago."

I know it's from the DailyFail, but could this mean we're looking at a mechanical failure?
 
That would change the whole narrative though - "He heroically drove the car into the barrier, risking his own life in order to stop the car and prevent further injury to others"
 
I doubt the police would label it as a terrorist incident unless they had some evidence that it was, I imagine they've uncovered something significant for them to make that analysis which they're obviously not going to report to anyone just yet.

Malt Vinegar did an HPI check on the plates and he never mentioned any previous writeoff, sounds like deflection.

Sorry, i did a free check, no HPI. So, i would not get written off status.

it had a lot of odd faults appear in last year's MOT:
Refusal Notices
  • Nearside rear stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))
  • Offside rear stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))
  • Nearside front headlamp aim too high (4.1.2 (a))
  • Offside front direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))
  • Offside front headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))
  • Parking brake lever has excessive movement indicating incorrect adjustment (1.1.6 (c))
Advisory Notices
  • Steering rack has slight free play detected at steering wheel (2.3 (a) (i))
Possibly as a result of a back-street garage fix leaving a load of stuff unfinished?

We're not asking for another one, the Media is because they capitalise from disaster and terrorism.

Even last 2 occasions they had a terrorism promoter live on bbc news telling people that you never need to contact ISIS anymore to start performing attacks for them, and all you need to do is perform a "ISIS Style" attack and the media will take care of the rest. What an utterly disgusting idea to be propagating on mainstream media.
 
Also seeing terrorist attacks like this makes you wonder how the **** 9/11 managed to happened.

9/11 was just an awakening done by the professionals, to awaken these one time lone wolfs to carry on the mission of divide and conquer. It makes sense because the BBC is also calling for more lone wolf attacks since they had that terrorism promoter on telling people they never need to even contact ISIS, not even once, to be a terrorist.

Too soft? From a man who's let Israel walk all over him like a cheap Russian prostitute?

Well Trump wants to get re-elected, being pals with Jewish people in high places is a good way to go about that. He isn't soft in a lot of ways though, he's basically using madman theory very effectively with most of his allies.

Really? Were futile little islamic terror incidents like this, just as frequent before 9/11? Sorry I was only 11 when 9/11 happened.

I'm pretty sure the war on terror has caused more terrorism. Think about it, we go in and take out people's father's uncles, we just keep refreshing the war instead of letting die out.

Why do you think we do that?

I don't know why we do it, but what happens when we do do it is the killed father's child grows up and his primary mission in life will be to avenge his father.

Possible reason for why we do it could be because socioeconomic collapse is inevitable and it needs to be blamed on something external.

Are we blaming any sort of collapse on terrorism?

The reason we take out anyone's father or uncle is because they're plotting to kill us or have been involved in actual acts of terrorism. Have you watched any documentaries on Iraq or Afghanistan from the soldiers perspective?
 
But what happens is, instead of having one terrorist, with children who are thinking "why does my dad want to attack the west", we just go in kill their dad, and then we have 4-10 little terrorists who are even more angrier and hell bent than the orignial one.
